According to the local news rag this is the winning design for the Florida state quarter. I like it.

I was hoping for the Everglades.

Now let's see how much the mint staff mangles it.

I would hope it looks like the pic above but we all know better by now, after 21 coins we havent seen one that looks like the artist renditions. Maybe I should switch to collecting the artist's sketches instead.

Is that round thing in front of the Shuttle an orange? What a way to waste my 500th post!!!

That's a pollworthy comment!

I don't like it, way too cluttered. Reminds me of the Ohio quarter, without the state outline, of course, and I did not like that, either.

Here is what the mint version will look like, they took the five finalists sent from Gov Bush and sent back the mint version for everyone to vote on. I think they are trying to avoid trouble like with the Missouri design backlash.Getting smarter.

As a former resident of the everglades, I was pulling for that one, too.. but it was not to be.. hmmmm.. those clouds should present an interesting test for grading.. it is haze? is it clouds? BTW. I hope there was supervised voting in Palm Beach County.

The island is on fire and that is what the smoke is?

The blasts around the shuttle are SAM missles being shot by terrorists?

I like the version VonZipper posted much better, but it still lacks something.

I think having the Florida sun behind it would have helped it.
